‘Oglethorpe Victory
In Sight/SaysAllen
General Chairman Ivan E. Allen,
of the Oglethorpe campaign com
mittee. said this morning:
The Monday meeting of com
mittee workers at the Piedmont
was larger than any of those held
last wi ek, and I don’t think there
was et man present who failed to
gTasp the significance of the fact.
‘ It means that there Is to be no
let-up in the work, and that every
man interested in\ it will do his
part with redoubled vigor from
day to day, until the whole $250,000
is raised.
“Victory is already in sigh*, but
we must all work harder at this
stage in the campaign than ever
before."
Another successful day’s work was
reported at the noon luncheon of the
Oglethorpe University fund subcom
mittee chairmen Tuesday. More than
$5,000 in additional subscriptions was
turned in by the chairmen with a
few of the committees still to heap
f rom.
The big subscriptions of the day
came from H. M. Atkinson, head of
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, and Asa G. Candler, each of
whom signified hts willingness to
give $1,000 to the fund, bringing the
total for the day up to $5,049.
Vice Chairman Ivan E. Allen, of
the executive committee, announced
that new special districts would be
allotted to the subcommittees and
that work would be begun Wednes
day on the solicitation of funds from
others than the original subscribers

CURREIIICY BILE
WASHINGTON, Dec 9 -"The en
actment of the currency bill as it
camp from the Itonse would have
been a national calamity," declared
Senator Bristow* to-day in making a
demand on the Senate that a
provision be inserted in the measure
making interlocking directorates un
lawful. The Kansas Senator cailed
attention to the fact that while the
Pujo investigating committee found
interlocking directorates the founda
tion of the money trust," yet the
House bill, although championed by
President Wilson, Chairman Glass
and Samuel Untermyer, the attorney
for the. Pujo committee, contains “not
a single line that will carry out the
findings of the Pujo committee.
“I have been amazed." continued
Senator Bristow, “to see men who
pretend to be hostile to the control by
these great Wall Street interests of
our banking system, propose a scheme
which they themselves mnst admit if
controlled by such interacts, would be
more powerful for evil than any
which Wall Street would organise
under existing law.”
Senator Bristow* said the Owen
draft provides for a “bankers" bank
ing system owned by the banks, con
trolled by the banks and conducted
almost wholly for the profit of the
banks, while the Hitchcock draft is a
people's bank, owned by the general
public, controlled by the Government
and used to strengthen and fortify
our great independent banking sys
tem.
